Get insights in GBIF-mediated datasets with charts and metrics.
GBIF dataset metrics Extension
For the 2015 GBIF Ebbe Nielsen challenge, we have developed this Google Chrome extension as proof of concept for enhancing GBIF dataset pages with aggregated occurrence metrics. These metrics are visualized as stacked bar charts - showing the occurrence distribution for basis of record, coordinates, multimedia, and taxa matched with the GBIF backbone - as well as an interactive taxonomy partition, a sample of images (if available), and a downloads chart. Metrics that score particularly well are highlighted as achievements. Collectively these features not only inform the user what a dataset contains and if it is fit for use, but also help data publishers discover what aspects could be improved.
